Poetry Lives, Dances, Sings and Shouts

Poetry Lives, Dances, Sings and Shouts

    Poetry lives, breathes into the soul of all that see
    arms wrapping eternity tight and soothes very deep
    No end to enchanting verses in its massive sea
    magnificent beauty showing great, one may just weep.

    Poetry dances , to mellow flows and tunes
    colors that fascinate and sing to wanting hearts
    Lyrics that rival, romance of Junes brightest moons
    begs imaginative reader's love from the start.

    Poetry sings, with brilliant notes perfectly in key
    about living life, love, heartache and very much more
    Gifting joy, healing the sad hurts of spirits lonely
    traversing with its happiness distant shore to shore.

    Poetry shouts, join in this great marching parade
    set your heart out to hug all those needing relief
    Its the cake, the apple pie life has sweetly made
    rewards generosity and faithful belief!

We do need to stop and define poetry from time to time. This poem comes at a time when I believe that the whole world writes the stuff and no one reads it any more. Yet could there be the music ONLY? Everyone endorses poetry when it's set to music and HATES the demand of structure & Maths before that. It's not unlike Science. Poetry is observation but they are subjective. Thanks for lifting my heart a tad.
